A history, a people who I am proud to have come from.
and yet, I was deprived of these people, this heritage, this lineage.
Why?
Because of family choices that I can never know, never understand.
And the same will come for the generations to come.
We, the adults in life.
We get to live the way we choose regardless of wrong or right.
Then one day, someday, one will come along and want an accounting.
Deserve an explanation to why they have been deprived of the family
Connections.
Who are they most like in life? When it isn't those around...
Won't they, Don't they? Deserve the understanding of their own worth?
The actual place in lineage of their own birth?
I have a heritage flowing through these veins...
People have impact on who I have become, not by nurture...
Nature dictates just the same.
Time and years have created a vast valley between me and those,
A distance that would never allow recognition...
And who's hurt the most?
